I graduated with an MA in Counseling from The Seattle School in 2003 (formerly known as Western Seminary). I later did a two-year post-graduate program in Adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. I am currently being trained in Relationally-Focused Psychotherapy. My work with patients is primarily influenced and supported by attachment theory, psychodynamic approaches, family systems, and various schools of thought within psychoanalysis. 

 

In addition to my private practice, I have worked in the Student Counseling Center at Seattle Pacific University, and as a Marriage and Family Therapist at Stone Gate Resources in Larkspur, CO. I have served as Adjunct Faculty for Seattle Pacific University in the School of Education and at The Seattle School as a Practicum Facilitator for therapists and clergy in training. I have also worked as a volunteer in the Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine Unit at Seattle Children’s hospital.
